Complicated

We have nobody else to blame but ourselves for the complications we have created in our lives. We fill our lives with suffering, superficial drama and needless stress. Tunnel vision drapes our mentality and trains our brains to only activate a very small part of it.
We watch the news, read the papers and talk amongst neighbors allowing ourselves to get sucked in to a world of ideologies all the while being brainwashed to believe senseless things.
We have completely lost respect for one another, ourselves,nature and the higher power. We have labeled ourselves superior to it all; all the while, killing ourselves through wars, chemically enhanced foods and man made drugs. We have spit on the "dirt" that gives life and have abused the waters and air that sustain that life.
Why did we make this life so complicated? Why have we allowed greed to become the "higher power" of our world? When did it not become enough for us to just appreciate the world we live in and continue with the natural cycle of life?
I have no answers to any of my questions and my hope is not as great as it once was when I was a child. However, I do believe the higher power we have forgotten, wrongly labeled with close minded religion and disrespected with our own selfish desires, will prevail and will not fail to teach us our lessons in this life. For that, I AM NOT AFRAID.
